Splashes of Red

If you are like me and simply cannot Glam it out in Red, then you might want to use splashes of red to light up your AW06 wardrobe instead.

Starting with the basic accessories, spice up your outfit and keep warm at the same time with red scarves and boots. I especially LOVE how they matched the snowflake patterned red scarf with white and denim in the D&G runway (left), and the Moschino Cheap & Chic on the right is just so cute!

Or you can take a tip from the Givenchy (left) and D Squared (right) runway and get red belts! Pair a simple and neat one for a sophisticated chic look. Or a funky bow one for a more casual outfit.

Then of course there are the red bags as in the Diane von Furstenburg and Vuitton runway.

For something more interesting, take a page from the Givenchy and Marc by Marc Jacobs runway and have red gloves or red sleeves sticking out for layers!

To achieve the D&G look, pair your cutest white and denim winter outfits with these adorable scarves from American Eagle (left) and Urban Outfitters (right).

Also available at Urban Outfitters are these fabulous boots and skimmers. I especially adore these slouchy platform boots. And those skimmers are just perfect for everyday wear on campus under jeans and skirts.

Is it just me, or are big red bags just everywhere? I know at least 3 people with big red bags. These two are from Shop Intuition (left) and Levi’s (right). The Shop Intuition one reminds me very much of this black one they have at Chanel.

Belt-wise, check out these ones from Urban Outfitters (left) and Elegantly Waisted from Shopbop (right). The one from Shopbop is definitely “elegantly waisted” although it can be pretty hard to carry off correctly, even the model doesn’t look that perfect in the picture.

For something simpler to wear, there is this adorable headband from Marc by Marc Jacobs (left) and this plastic bangles by Kenneth Jay Lane from Shopbop (right).
